Seeing that everyone was confused, Darian continued, "Thulon is one of you, a native, and all of you are mortal enemies of us outsiders. But his courage in fighting and not abandoning his partner while being chased earned my respect. So I helped him, and he became my brother. When my little brother has trouble, as the older brother, I obviously can't just stand and watch. So, I'll take Thulon's place in this fight. I'm sure you don't have a problem with that, right, brother?"
"Big brother Darian..." Thulon didn't expect Darian to show him that much appreciation. His eyes filled with tears. In the whole Tribe, very few people treated him that well.
Darian patted Thulon's shoulder. "I helped you because you reminded me of myself when I was younger. But my situation was ten times worse than yours. I can help you once, but next time, you'll have to help yourself."
